I need to get back into writing, the same way I need oxygen to breathe. It's been over a year though and I could do with some prompts. See my tags for subjects/fandoms/pairings/formats I'm comfortable with, but I'm flexible. Be as specific or as vague as you like.

I can't promise to be quick, but this would really help me begin to edge back in...

Prompt: UndercoverAN: I was in two minds about whether to post this, but I'm being a completist, I guess. I'm really not enamoured of this one - I know what I was trying to do but I didn't really have time to get it right. Next round is already half written though.

Title: Before My Helpless SightCharacter/Pairing: Sherlock/JohnGenre: Angst (mild)Rating: PGWarnings: Discussion of war, brief but including current conflicts involving UK and NATO forces. (Yes, they are rather on my mind right now.)

Prompt: Phantom touchSummary: In his dreams, John walks abroad in war zones, a ghost observing the soldiers still there. After a while, he finds that he is not the only one.AN: The title comes from one of the Wilfred Owen war canon I find most memorable, Dulce et Decorum Est.

I feel slightly guilty for asking to use it while I was responsible for feeding her and thereby coercing a little, but nevertheless she let me have her image. If you’ve not read this fic don’t stay here reading this, go there and read that one from the beginning, and get tissues before you start.

Summary: That shoulder wound. Sherlock wants to see every part of John but especially the wound. John insists on hiding it, and other parts of his military life, but Sherlock doesn’t intend to stop trying...AN: Beta’d by the most wonderful of wonderfuls, irisbleufic. And my lovely husband checked the military bits for accuracy.

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!4. Do ten of these, then post them.

My god this was hard work. Fun, though, I highly recommend it. The hardest was the last one, the track only lasts two minutes and eight seconds. These are not drabbles in the strictest sense because I couldn't get them all ironed down to 100 words exactly. Music links are under the cuts too.

No ownership is implied or inferred. This is done for love only.AN: Back in the dark AU, this is a follow-on to esmerelda_t's To Sail the Seven Seas and anteros_lmc's All the Seven Seas. These are both wonderful, I am just riding on their coat-tails. It's not as dark as their chapters, but it carries on the story. I was charged with finding a happy ending, and... well, it's not exactly happy. :s

I did some writing! It's not cheerful though. I was watching "The Duchess and the Devil" and I though, gee, this isn't nearly angsty enough, so I wrote some suicidal!Archie for the hell of it. Poor Archie, maybe I'll write him some recovery scenes next.
